Is Sadhguru a Charlatan?

My own take after watching this: seems like he's tapped into some spiritual truths, but there may be some self-delusion and corruption at play

This seems like a funny documentary:

You're asking the wrong question. Ask if the path he has layed out work for people or not and then listen to testimonies or experience his offerings yourself. Sadhguru himself is irrelevant.

Some say he copied a lot from Osho but who the fuck knows.

He's legit from my pov. I don't judge so much the details but overall impression. 

[Raze]

I don’t think he’s actually enlightened. I’ve talked to multiple legitimately enlightened people and they doubt him. He’s also been caught plagiarizing Osho.

That doesn’t necessarily mean his teaching is wrong, I heard it’s adapted from legitimate sources.

But man his fans are annoying.

He's a New Age guru. And there's no central authority in New Age to decide.

A 'charlatan' can only be defined against an established tradition or paradigm. Muslims will probably call him a charlatan.

As consumers, people would expect to find the results he promises. Otherwise , they would call him a charlatan.

What does he promise for your money?

You can create a vote thread to determine how many people think he's legit versus how many think he's not. And then you can use that information to accomplish nothing whatsoever. 👍

How is Sadhguru “New Age” lol? Have I missed something? New Age encompasses a lot, and so do Sadghurus teaching, but I don’t consider them same category overall

@Sugarcoat He doesn't identify with any particular spiritual tradition, so he's automatically New Age by definition. Actualized.org is New Age too.

If you know a better category for them, let me know.

Sadhgurus Hatha yoga programs and his lifestyle teachings are legit. It changed my life. I feel incredibly good withe these yoga exercises teached by isha foundation and I can do things during the day which I never could do before. It's not only spiritual but very practical.

@erikchomko Sadhguru is one of the wisest figures online. To call him a fraud, is an inversion of what's really going on.
